2024 Honda Accord Sport L Hybrid is a FAKE Sport :All Specs & Test Drive

[@lawdog516]

I had a 23, here is the recipe for disaster. Low profile tires and no spare, I was stranded waiting for a tow after hitting a pothole that damaged the sidewall so that tire pump was useless, living in the Midwest pot holes are plentiful because of the changing seasons and I live in Illinois 😢. Luckily it was me that was stranded and not my wife.

[@HawkeyeRides]

Sorry to here that but thanks for the owners insight

[@DeathTrap-tc6uv]

You had no spare? I have a 23 and it has one.

[@alvinsimba734]

@@DeathTrap-tc6uvhe probably had a hybrid

[@9546aw]

The normal Honda's have a spare. For some reason on the hybrids, they take the spare away and substitute a small plugin air pump. Just visualize yourself in the dark trying to repair a flat tire even though the car does not have a jack or tire iron. I desperation you call the 800 number for help but are told by the recording to call back during normal business hours.

[@Qthepug]

There’s a cutout to pit a spare under the charger I’m pretty sure.

Best review of a sport L on YT. Thanks

[@HawkeyeRides]

Thank you I appreciate that 👍

I bought a 2023 Sport-L Hybrid. I love it except for the fact that it doesn't have a spare tire. I bought a donut spare tire just in case. I'm glad I did because I hit a pothole and blew out a tire. It I didn't have that spare, I would have been stranded. If you buy one, definitely get a spare tire too. You will need it. Honda should include a spare tire. It's a safety issue.

[@HawkeyeRides]

Congrats they are nice vehicles 👍

[@guitarhero9592]

I’m thinking of getting one. Where did you buy the spare?How did you secure it in the trunk?

[@johndearborn119]

@@guitarhero9592 It's expensive.

[@guitarhero9592]

@@johndearborn119 Huh? Did you take out the foam trunk insert and put the spare there?

[@johndearborn119]

@@guitarhero9592 Yes.

[@tristincarreviews1618]

Great Video and I look forward to buying this car. Also the 12.3 Starts with the sport trim model.

[@HawkeyeRides]

Congrats when you get it

[@tristincarreviews1618]

I’m probably going to get it in about 6 months

[@9546aw]

I have repeatedly commented that Honda Hybrids do not come with a spare tire. This is a recipe for disaster if there ever was one. I appeal to Honda, Put in a spare tire, even a donut spare.

[@HawkeyeRides]

I’m sure the dealership would work a deal 👍

[@9546aw]

Even if the dealer would sell you a donut spare and a jack and a tire iron, where do you put it because Honda filled up the cavity where the spare goes in non-hybrid models with a foam block. In a car that gets the better part of 50 miles to a gallon the miniscule amount of weight saved by getting rid of the spare would make literally no difference in milage. The Accord is no $15,000 Econbox, it cost $40,000 with taxes and other assorted fees. It is senseless for the spare to be removed.

[@crazybenny747]

It lacks the spare because of the battery pack for the hybrid drive system. You could just put a full size tire in the trunk.

[@9546aw]

The space where the spare is located is identical on both Hybrid and non Hybrid models. The non Hybrid models come equipped with a spare tire and associated equipment. The only difference between the two is a Foam block that Honda puts there to fill up the space and support the floor of the trunk. Your argument is totally FALSE.

[@RunningAllDay4ever]

@@crazybenny747Yup, and set there for years without ever being used.

[@jackwhitt-gc5jg]

Great video covered everything and very knowledgeable

[@HawkeyeRides]

Thank you Jack I appreciate that

[@dominic0313]

They should've developed the 2.0 turbo with the hybrid motor.

[@HawkeyeRides]

That turbo will be missed

[@michaelmarkspersonal]

Is the 2024 that much different than the 2023 or are you just talking about being different to the prior generation?

[@HawkeyeRides]

Different from the last generation

[@demetriharlan5887]

I bought one over the summer time, the only thing I dont like is the tear drop side view mirrors and those open rims collect alot of dust, dirt.

[@HawkeyeRides]

@@demetriharlan5887 congratulations and thanks for sharing

[@LukeO-1234]

Im debating between this trim and the EXL. Im leaning more towards exl with better fuel economy and non low pro tires

[@HawkeyeRides]

The tires will make the ride more smoother

[@cakeboy227]

More features included with the EX-L than the Sport and I'm not joking

[@Opposegaming]

@@cakeboy227yes, parking sensors is a nice touch

[@The07gt]

Love my 21 Accord sport 2.0t. All three Honda dealers I’ve been to in the Tampa area I spoken to sales and service guys and they all say the say thing. This version on the accord is the worst. Quoting one guy who is on the chairman’s seller board (what the hell were they thinking). Yep, just so if you want the better engine and transmission now you have to pay more their Acura brand.

[@HawkeyeRides]

It’s not everyone’s fav 👍

I knew i recognized the test drive thats ridge rd! 😂

[@HawkeyeRides]

That’s right 👍

[@HemantR.20930]

At 4:16 did you rev the car? it sounded like it.

[@HawkeyeRides]

I did get some revs in

[@HemantR.20930]

How do you rev a hybrid car? I tried on my 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid Sport but it would not rev at all.@@HawkeyeRides

[@HawkeyeRides]

@HemantR37273 I put it into gear and pushed the brakes so you could hear it rev up.

[@HemantR.20930]

oh ok@@HawkeyeRides

[@HemantR.20930]

At 4:41 the time and the miles of range are the same lol

[@HawkeyeRides]

😁👍

[@Jonathaneve5]

They fixed the rear from 2022.

[@HawkeyeRides]

In 2021 they had a little refresh, lighting, wheels and no more manual with a few other updates. 2023 was the full refresh for the 11 gen.

[@BIGHAUS22]

Sorry but the touring is not worth 40k rather have sport l it’s 34k

[@HawkeyeRides]

The sport L is nice

[@russellbauer8299]

I have a 23 touring. Love everything about it. Got dealer to take xtra 1500 off. I opted for 17 inch wheels. Better ride and gas

[@bcoop85]

Yeah it is! I have the touring and you definitely feel the difference in quality, technology and features.

[@coreyjohnson3993]

I missed the 2.0T sports. Please come back!!!
